For the Heck of it!

Hard to believe it has almost been a month since I took the Old Lady to the heart doctor for her Protime test (the one where they stick her finger and test how fast her blood clots). She talked me into taking her to Wal-mart last time so it will be interesting to find out what she has up her sleeve for our next outing.

The reason I didn’t want to take her is because she honestly cannot walk more than a few steps at a time and I knew it would be a horrible experience for both of us. We don’t take her wheelchair because it is too difficult for me to get it in and out of the car and we can park at the door to the doctor’s office so she doesn’t have to walk very far with her walker. The only reason I agreed to take her to Wal-mart is that I saw a wheelchair parked near the Wal-mart doors the last time we went so I figured I’d just use one of theirs. Unfortunately there were no wheelchairs available when we got there but fortunately I talked the Old Lady into using one of those motorized scooters to ride around in. We’ll be using those from now on since it allows her the freedom to go where she wants to without having someone push her around. Plus it is a lot easier on me too.

We usually go on a Tuesday but she has hired a couple from England to do her house cleaning on Tuesday afternoons from now on. So I suppose we’ll go Monday or Wednesday instead. I dread it more than anyone could possibly know and I’ll be sure to give the report next week as to whether I had a horrible day or a good one.
